PISTON AND ROD REMOVAL

Figure 192 — Connecting Rod Bearing Caps
1. Using flywheel turning tool, 9996956, rotate
the crankshaft so that the connecting rod
bearing caps for the desired cylinders are
positioned for easy removal of the screws.
2. Remove the screws and remove the bearing
cap.
3. Remove the bearing from the cap and
discard.
4. Using a suitable tool, push up on the bottom
of the piston until the rings are free of the
cylinder liner. If the cylinder liner is
excessively worn, the upper inner surface of
the liner may have to be scraped and
cleaned to make it easier to remove the
piston.

PROCEDURES” section).
